    Tom is a clever, mischievous boy with a vivid imagination. He spends his days playing with his friends, including Huckleberry Finn, getting into trouble, and seeking out adventures. Some of his most famous escapades include tricking other boys into whitewashing a fence for him, running away to become a pirate, and discovering hidden treasure.Throughout the novel, Tom's character grows as he faces various challenges, from witnessing a murder in a graveyard to grappling with his own sense of right and wrong.
